Financials were leading the recovery on Thursday afternoon following a fall earlier in the day, on hopes of a solution to the sovereign debt crisis in Europe.European leaders agreed a new aid package for Greece and an overhaul of the Eurozone sovereign rescue fund. Among the proposals are a reduction in debt burdens on Greece, Portugal and Ireland.

However, figures from the Office for National Statistics showed that price-cutting by retailers in June helped spark a partial rebound in sales, which grew by 0.3% by value and 0.7% by volume.Meanwhile, Capita was the worst performer after half-year turnover and profit before tax came in a shade below market expectations at the outsourcing behemoth.Brewing giant SABMiller fell into the red despite growing lager and soft drinks volumes by 5% in the first quarter, helped by strong growth in developing markets.
